Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday rejected claims of hypocrisy with House Republicans pushing a contempt of Congress charge against Attorney General Merrick Garland when Rep. Jim Jordan and other Republicans refused to comply with January 6th committee subpoenas.

The House is set to vote on the contempt charge Wednesday, as Republicans accuse Garland of violating the U.S. Constitution by not handing over audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur in his classified documents investigation. Johnson argued that was an offense worthy of a contempt charge, while the January 6th committee was unwarranted. Via The Recount.

Not Even Pretending

Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican – South Carolina), Senator Ted Cruz (Republican – Texas), Senator Mike Lee (Republican – Utah), jurors in the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, met Thursday evening with the former president’s defense team  ‘to work on strategy’.

Not even pretending to appear as impartial jurors, the three told reporters that they were ‘actively working with the defense team and other senators to ensure Trump is acquitted’.

So, the next time you hear a Republican senator rant that what America needs is law and order or that Republicans love cops and not robbers, please try not to vomit.
